Thank you so much for the free new knit pattern Melody. Another of your lovely hats to make for my daughter Gemma’s Chemo Survivor Kits for children and Adults undergoing Chemotherapy treatments. Love your patterns!! xx

Thank you for this lovely FREE pattern. I feel badly that you didn’t reach your goal…Hopefully, by now that goal has been reached….
I really don’t know where else to share, since the only real “social media” I use is Facebook. I just don’t have time for anything else…As it is, I only rarely visit FB….just takes so long! I also do Pinterest and believe I’ve shared it there as well. Is it okay to share this pattern on Pinterest?
Let me know….don’t want to share there if it’s not your choice…

Thank you so much for the free pattern, much appreciated but not necessary.
I didn’t do this to gain anything for free, l did it to help you……
Many, many thanks…….just one little query, as l’d like to make this for myself, how many
stitches would l need to start with please sweetie
Hugs

Love this pattern but am having problems with cast on count. If I start with K2, then the last two stitches must be P2. Every time I start first row, it ends with K2, so I then have 4 knit stitches. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am doing the 1-3 year hat with 90 cast-on stitches. Thanks

Hey Cris! Yes – due to the number of cast on sts needed to make the hat come out the right size, you’re going to end with K2. The 4 knits together are in the back of the hat, and not super visible. Sorry for the confusion!

I am making cap with diamonds. All goes well till I finish. Say I should have a stitch count of 72. But when I finish the last row of diamonds my stitch count is around 60 something. I have watched the video several times and did 5 redos. I am skipping one stitch and then only single crocheting 2 on the last round? Please help if you can.

When you’re counting your stitches, are you counting the FPTRC2tog as a stitch? It should be counted. It sounds like you’re losing one stitch during each diamond repetition. Could you accidentally be skipping 2 sts during each diamond instead of one?
